This will probably make you wonder more but I will tell you anyway. My waters leaked at 35 weeks, I saw my back up midwife who said the baby was head down and had engaged, 12 hours later my waters broke I went into labour and at the hospital they did a scan (because the obs thought I had peed myself  ) and found out he was breech. There is an extremely slim chance that he turned within that 12 hours, and backup midwife admitted she could have been mistaken which is worrying.
I think that you could ask for a scan, just bear in mind that she might say no or she might not actually have the authority to order one, you may have to see an obs first.

Oh wow! That is scary. I guess I am panicking because I am birthing at a birth centre, and if for some reason bubs can't "come out", I have to get transfered to the hopsital. I am just nervous as hell. I am just trying to prevent the worst from happening, and I guess at the end of the day, I can't really do that.
Went to Mums last night, had a nice spa bath, felt weightless and relaxed. But today, wow, so much pain. I maybe took advantage of the whole weightlessness twisting and turning in the spa.
It will be interesting to see how my birth pans out in compared to youres cuppatea. My midwife makes me a lil nervous, everytime I ask if bubs is in the right position she pauses and says yeah, but never elaborates. I have such an active lil boy, I feel my majority of kicks on my sides. Not so much top and bottom. I hope he is not transverse.
Anyways, it's just like me to read far too much into stuff.

 I had this too and man it sucks. I found about 2 weeks after Capreces birth it came back really bad for a day or 2 and i'm guessing it was my pelvis going back to normal and I haven't had any pain since. After Jack was born it never really went away so do get it checked after bubs is born.

I definately will get it checked out after the birth. I hear it's quite common to continue having the pain after birth.
BTW, does anyone know what the midwife is trying to check my bloods for, if I have protein in my wee?

I think it's definitely ok for a mw to refer you for a scan if she thinks baby is breech or is unsure. This is what happened for my #2 but that may be because I had a c/s with #1 so a breech #2 meant a likely elective c/s.

I think it would be keytones, I don't that much about it apart from that my sister in law had protein in her wee with both hers, but then she is diabetic and has kidney problems, she was induced early with both 36 weeks for her first and 37 for her second. It may be a gestational diabetes thing?
I actually didn't have him till 38 weeks and then had elective c/s as I kept going into labour but it never progressed. I would say that mine was not the norm. If your bubs is prosterior I think a lot of the time they turn once you are in labour. If bubs was laying transverse I think it would be quite obvious as your bump would be side to side rather than up and down, normally with transverse the midwifes can tell without even palpating.
Oh and as for the kicking, I felt it everywhere, even where there shouldn't have been a foot or fist, remember there are knees and elbows and shoulders and hips and everything else that you can give you a "kick" when bubs is moving.

It will be interesting to see how Tuesday goes with the midwife. I feel she tries to rush me out within 15-20 minutes.
Man, I have had crazy BH all day. Go lil Phee!

Write a list of things so you don't forget things in the hurry. Then don't budge until you've finished the list

Howdy all again.
Finally got my physio appointment yesterday. Seemed to go okay.
I have a large seperation between my tummy muscles, so I have a couple of tubi-grips to wear (they are uncomfortable, but just bearable).
I was also given a belt and some exercises to do. The belt I feel cuts in to me, no matter how I adjust it, or wear it. I just wear it when I need to (ie. walking around supermarket etc). Horrible to wear when sitting (ie. driving around).
